    @johnburris5927 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Still one of the best spring baits! Been using them since the 80’s. But the Slug-go’s ,then the zoom fluke became very popular. An the main reason people went to those two wasn’t that they catch more fish but the main reason is that u could throw them a mile with baitcasting rods an reel.

  • @royheape6872
    @royheape6872 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Floating worm has been a staple on Clark Hill for over 30 years. We used a swivel and a 18" leader in the ol' school days because of line twist on your spinning reel with mono. Braid has mostly done away with that. It works 7 or 8 months out of the year here. Good job Mark, keep it up!!!

This technique is not used nearly enough on Travis and the other lakes in the area, but is deadly. Thanks for sharing! I also keep up with your old California State Team teammate who lives about 40 miles away from me.
